You would love them, I never had one jump/fly out of the tank but I can understand your being apprehensive :)

When I bought my Lampeyes yesterday, the girl at the lfs warned me that my tank better have a tight fitting lid because they are jumpy. Haven't seen it yet.. although, I can only count 10 out of the 11 that are supposed to be in there!

They're too cool not to own...plus, the extra diligence in keeping the lid closed most of the time has other benefits...
Get some Bruno!

In the back left corner of my tank, behind the DW stump, I have a "forest" of java fern, and about an inch or so of very dense above-the-substrate roots...I peer into there with my magnifying glass and flashlight, hoping to glance ANY kind of fry hiding out, lol

Looked again when I got home...the "forest" is FULL of eggs!

If the corys really are serious about settling down and having offspring of their own, that would be a perfect place to attempt it...but, I'm going to have to charge them rent for setting up camp in "my" forest

Lauren thinks they are assassin snail eggs...I beg to differ

Very hard to get a pic of the tank back there, but I'll try this evening
